Abstract: Objectives:To compare the effects of applying Indometacin Cataplasms in the lumbosacral area and symphysis pubis area for the treatment of dysmenorrhea during menstruation.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the basic menstruation information of 31 women with dysmenorrhea.Indometacin Cataplasms was used in the lumbosacral area in the first period and used in the symphysis pubis area in the second period,all for 12 hours every day and removed at night for a total of three days.The relieve time and degree and duration of dysmenorrheal were compared between the two groups,to analyze the effect of Indometacin Cataplasms in alleviating dysmenorrhea and the efficacy of different application location.Results:The dysmenorrhea relieve scores (DRS) were reduced in the two periods,with statistically significant difference (P =0.041 and P =0.003).The duration of dysmenorrhea shortened by (2 vs1.71 days) in the first period,without statistically significant difference (P=0.241),but the duration shortened by (2 vs1.65 days) in the second period,with statistically significant difference (P =0.000).Difference in the relieve time of dysmenorrhea was not statistically significant between the two periods (12.74 vs 7.61h,P =0.231).26 (83.9％) women among the 31 women needed painkiller,but only 17 (54.8％) women required painkiller in the first period,with statistically significant difference (P =0.014).Conclusion:Indometacin Cataplasms is effective in treating dysmenorrhea,with better effects when applying in the symphysis pubis area than in the lumbosacral area.
